        I'm having weather related internet issues, but was able to get this from Twitter

        From the Cleveland Browns Twitter account.

        We've released QB Josh McCown and DB Tramon Williams

                    Hopefully not QB. Hoping it's Garopollo in a trade. FA DB an FA OG market is strong this year. That's where I would place my bets.

                          I hope Josh gets what he is looking for whether its work as a QB or as a coach. Really enjoyed having a player with some balls on the team.

                            Amazing in this league is how "for some" the 30's is old. Both Josh & Tramon were brought in, in 2015. In 15 Tramon went from 69 tackles to in 16 36 tackles..Be interested to see where Gip ranks JMc as our starting QB since return in 99? I always traveled to Baltiwhore & watched probably our best QB performance since our return with JMc & 457yards in 15. I also watched Kessler in Baltimore this season miss seeing wide open receiver's to a safe check down in 16. JMc played 8 games in 15 for 2109 yards & 5 games in 16 for 1100 yards. In 15 after the guttiest spin at Jets, JMc kept us in games against Better Teams we had no right to stay close with..Oak./Balt twice/Denver & Zona,SD we got robbed on Tramon's blocked FG..Josh's Wife & Family live in Charlotte,NC area & I wish them all the best of luck moving forward..Thanks Josh for representing Cleveland with Pride,Professionalism & A Passion for the Game in Believeland

                              Well, when the main highlight of your stint with a team is getting helicoptered into oblivion...

                              ...then it's probably best for both parties to go their separate ways.

                                Man, McCown is one of those dudes who I'd love to share a beer with and talk shop. Mad respect for what he brought to this team.

                                Tramon did as well as he could but was already over the hill when he was signed. Nothing but good vibes for both dudes though, but it was time.

                                  That's good money saved. I know we're trying to hire a QB coach...I wonder if McCown is a candidate? Jeff Garcia didn't get the gig, so why not McCown? Tramon is a bit of a small surprise, as I liked him a little bit as a safety. Something tells me we're either using a very high draft pick on a safety, or we're pushing HARD for a free agent.

                                    I didn't count either of these guys when I starting thinking about 2017 depth charts, it was time.

                                    Both came to us and gave tremendous effort and were shining examples of class and veteran leadership on the worst back-back years in the 70 plus years of Browns football.

                                    Thanks for laying it all on the line, guys, I hope there are some NFL doors open for these guys, including the possibility of coaching in Cleveland.

                                        Totally agree with all the thanks and well wishes for these two. Hopefully both land jobs with contenders, if they wish to continue their playing careers.

                                        Rumor is Young Shanny wants to take Falcon backup, Matt Schaub, to SF. May be a landing spot in ATL for McC as it would leave Ryan as the only QB on their roster. Nice set up for a vet backup and a draft prospect.

                                          Hopefully not QB. Hoping it's Garopollo in a trade. FA DB an FA OG market is strong this year. That's where I would place my bets.

                                          Sure, as I have said....our #52 is as high as I would give up for JG.

                                          But, I agree that DB may be a prime target for FAs....especially since the release of Williams.
